I wrote a piece recently on a persistent bugbear of mine: We didn't evolve to exercise. We are the descendants of the least-slothly members of a family of slothly bipedal apes. https://buff.ly/3ZSV0Cy

Life is full of tough choices -- like deciding which server to send your requests to. This week's paper: www.usenix.org/conference/n... I like it because it demonstrates why improving application performance should focus on app-level metrics (latency+RIF) rather than machine metrics (CPU load).

S3 (Iceberg) Tables is everything I dreamt of, and more. I blogged some long-form thoughts: meltware.com/2024/12/04/s... I think we're about to see an explosion of data tools (@materialize.com, @clickhouse.com, @duckdb.org, et al.) learn to write Iceberg tables via S3 table buckets. #databs

Bought a #googlepixel phone today and migration from my old Samsung Galaxy has to be one of the smoothest. Fully functional in less than 30 minutes. I am sure there would be few things I missed that will pop up in coming days but day to day functionality and apps all ✅ in record time.

In the market for a new Macbook. Have been eyeing a base M4 MBP 16GB/512GB. I can't understand Apple pricing - official Apple store sells it for 1599 while all other retailers like Amazon, Bestbuy and Costco are selling it for 1399 with discounts. Doesn't Apple want to sell it from its own store?
